MDI Conserver / Disk drive question...

[mspaeth@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu (Wayne Gretzky)]

I recently purchased an MDIdeas Conserver (same as an AE conserver), but was 
distraught when I realized I couldn't have my 5.25" drive hooked up when I
am using it due to space limitation in the case.

The manual says that MDI has a daisy chain cable to solve this problem...

My questions are:
Does MDIdeas still exist?  What's their #?

If MDIdeas is dead, does AE also have the cable I need?

In either case, where the heck can I find DB-19 male and female connectors
to make my own cable?  I called DIGIKEY and visited radio shack, and both
places had never heard of a 19 pin connector... I'd call Apple, but I'm sure
they'd be clueless unless I called a manufacturing plant or something ;)

Finally... if I get the connectors and make my own cable, which of the 19 pins
are actually used for a 5.25" drive... surely not all 19!

thanks...
